The HERCULES Giant is a high tech modular industrial PC, which easily can be configured to meet the customers need. Type and capacity of processor up to Pentium M, size of RAM and harddisk, type and size of display and type of power supply (AC or DC), all this make the HERCULES Giant suitable for many industrial applications.

Available slots for extension boards can expand the system with additional features.

In addition to connections for standard peripheral equipment, keyboard, monitor, mouse etc., the HERCULES Giant can be operated using a touchscreen, thus eliminating the need for a keyboard.

The completely sealed housing without a fan, makes the HERCULES Giant meet the IP specified protection norms. To reduce the need for additional boards 4 serial ports are on board. The HERCULES Giant can operate in rough industrial environments.
